John Edwards: Losing Ugly

"It profits a man nothing to sell his soul for the whole world. But for 4 percent of the Nevada caucuses?"

The spectacle that is the Paradoxical Candidate is highlighted in today's John Edwards: Losing Ugly. It is getting more clear that John Edwards presses forward, not for the union member whose children must drink spoiled milk from a rusty pail because of the Bush tax cuts -- but for a potential kingmaker role at the convention should Senators Obama and Clinton remain in a close race. The Edwards insincerity has even drawn the ire of true Trotsky disciples such as Senator Russ Feingold.

"The one (presidential candidate) that is the most problematic is Edwards," Sen. Russ Feingold told The Post-Crescent in Appleton, Wis., "who voted for the Patriot Act, campaigns against it. Voted for No Child Left Behind, campaigns against it. Voted for the China trade deal, campaigns against it. Voted for the Iraq War. ... He uses my voting record exactly as his platform, even though he had the opposite voting record."
